A Case Study on the Eating Habits of a Selection of University Students in Northern Cyprus

Öz

The aim of this qualitative case study is to examine changes in the eating habits of university students living with their families after starting their tertiary education. Stress or lack of time at university can have adverse affects leading to unhealthy changes in diet. We have accordingly assessed the dietary-related habits of undergraduate students in various departments of EMU. Six Cypriot students, as well as three Iraqi Kurdish students were selected since to date there have been few such studies about Kurdish students. A limitation of this study is that all the respondents were living in Famagusta City in Northern Cyprus; other studies might be conducted in perhaps Nicosia and abroad.
